Wir Haben Hunger!

After a lovely day of eating delicious homemade scones for breakfast (no baking disasters this time!), swimming in a 108 year old pool (an experience in and of itself), relaxing with some Banananweißen cocktails (sounds skeptical, but tastes super), and watching some ski-jumping Olympians fly off a steep slope on Whistler (via the Deutsch Olympic broadcast), I am now ready to announce number four of the Top 10 Reasons to Visit Munich:

#4: Käsespätzle

If you haven't gathered from many of my previous blog posts: I. Love. Food. Just ask my maid- of-honor, Beth. Once, we got in a silly tiff over a misunderstanding that started with me claiming her taste buds were bland. Needless to say, Beth now eats sushi...and likes it.

However, despite my love of adventurous eating, my all time favorite food happens to be a good 'ole comfort food: home-baked macaroni and cheese. YUM!

Steve won my heart when he made me the German equivalent of macaroni and cheese: käsespätzle. Käsespätzle is like a grown-up version of mac 'n cheese; yet, the base of homemade egg noodles is mixed with Emmentaler and Gruyere cheeses and then browned for a few minutes under a broiler. Sautéed onions are added on top for gooey, melty, perfection.

I may have to reconsider my favorite food:
